Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm
I read this and not being a computer wiz I did my best. All I get is the Drive:\Path\Filename of each thing I wanted attached just written out in the e-mail. How can I get the attachments to attach? I am using Word 2003 for my editor, Outlook 2003 for e-mail and Excel 2003 for my data. I am sending the same attachments to the whole list. Please help. Warren |

Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments
It's very hard to tell from your description just what it is that you have
done wrong. You need to read the article very carefully and follow the instructions to the letter to get it to work correctly. If there is some part of the instructions that you do not understand, post back here with a question. Otherwise, post back here with a very detailed account of exactly what you have done. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments
The Setup is where I think I messed up. What is a separate Catalogue or
Directory? Do I insert a table? I found the visual basic editor and clicked on Outlook. I got to Setup and I have a document with the place to insert the name. I also have an Excel spreadsheet with a list of names and e-mail addresses. I also have a group of documents to attach to each e-mail. I also Drive:\Path\Filename of each document. I tried adding attachment info in the Word document and in a table in the document. When the e-mail arrives it has the file path written out but no attachments. I then went in and put the Macro information in exactly as it was in the article. If I did not explain it correctly let me know.

You need to mail merge main documents. One will be a formletter type
document that will become the text of the email message. The other is a Catalog, or in Word XP and later it is called a Directory type mailmerge main document. There is a fair bit of information and examples of the way in which that second mail merge main document needs to be set up. I suggest that you have raced through the process without following the steps exactly as they are written which will be necessary to achieve the desired result. There are no shortcuts. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
